Reba, lovely little quilt and great use if leftovers.

Reba, that is so cute. With the dark blue squares at the corners of the stars, it takes on a look similar to the Farmers Daughter Block in the Lori Holt farm quilt. I’m saving your quilt photo to my quilts wish list folder.

Reba, I'm sure it's fun to finish that up!

I had all of those leftovers on my cutting table and I couldn't bear to put them all away to save for later, so I buckled down and used up as much as I could. I'm going to give it to my son who is a civil war enthusiast, the parchment fabric is a map of the battle of Gettysburg. Hugs all!

Well, shoot! I was having the most enjoyable, relaxing time tonight working on Mayhem, and then I realized I had forgotten to switch to the yellow fabric for the star points. So I guess I'll be sticking to my original D fabric, but I don't mind that much. It may be a bit bland, but the contrast is good so the pattern should work out. This sure is a fun quilt to make!

It was a fun quilt and we can’t wait to see your finish.

Here is my Merry Mayhem. I'm pleased with the way the fabrics worked out. My measurements were horrendous, though. Not only was it 3/4" smaller than it should have been, it was cinched at the midpoints and fanned out at the corners, so much so that I had to try and square it up before adding the final border (I'm unsure of how/why this happened). The four small corner stars did not blend well with the border fabric, so I had to leave them off. I have an awkward placement of the bottom border; I think I had meant to put it the other way, then changed my mind on the spur of the moment. It didn't occur to me to then reassess where I was going to cut it. DH said it is 'one of my nicest quilts' (he is not a BH or scrappy fan).

Joe's mom, that came out great! I love the colors and how they the together so nicely. Very pretty! It was worth the wait to see it. I think the red in the medallion really pops and brings out the red in the borders. I'm glad you didn't end up using the yellow. 😁

Thanks, Sharongn! (I feel the same way about the yellow.)

Joe’smom.....it is really a beautiful quilt. The border fabric brings out all the colors. Nicely done!
